James Smith 💾<p>Oof, <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/GamesWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GamesWorkshop</span></a> apparently suing <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Ghamak" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ghamak</span></a>, designers of 3d printable miniatures, *not* for copyright infringement but instead for UNFAIR COMPETITION is not a good look. Also could be a hell of a chilling effect; don&#39;t even design anything that COULD be used in their games, or else. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32xzMuAWs-4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=32xzMuAWs-4</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/WarhammerCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WarhammerCommunity</span></a></p>
James Smith 💾<p>Thing is, it&#39;s actually quite easy to not give money to fascists. You just read or listen to the things they say very publicly, and then just don&#39;t give them your money. </p><p>Some might even say it&#39;s *easier* than *giving* them money!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Framework" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Framework</span></a></p>

Rob Ricci<p>[Edit: I'd like to request no more boosts for this post for now - my DMs are still open to, and please do still forward this to specific folks you think might be interested. I've got so many responses that it's going to take me a while to get to all of them - which I will. ❤️ you all for being so supportive of this idea.]</p><p>I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here? </p><p>I'll pay the bills. Period.</p><p>I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.</p><p>DM me.</p>

James Smith 💾<p>&gt; A wealth tax on the richest 1% to fund public services. An end to rip-off privatisation so water, rail and energy work for people, not shareholders. Universal free childcare, to give every child the best start, and every parent real freedom. Rent controls and investment in warm, affordable homes. Real investment in green jobs and infrastructure, and a Green New Deal that doesn’t just cut carbon but transforms communities, lowers bills and creates opportunity.</p><p>Yep, OK, let&#39;s try that.</p>
James Smith 💾<p>Just joined the Green Party. At least *someone*&#39;s trying to present a different future than a race to the far right.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/03/migration-britain-superpower-labour-green-party" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2025/oct/03/migration-britain-superpower-labour-green-party</span></a></p>
